Seriously... unless the bag comes with a coffee maker, a missile launcher and your very own R2D2 from Star Wars I can't understand how a bag can be worth that much!

Since I've learned about these bags I've started paying attention to seeing them in public and I've seen so many of them! Heck it's almost as if everyone has a Chanel.

Many of which are apparently fake though. I saw this really trashy looking girl in 1-U the other day wearing Asadi sneakers, jeans and some t-shirt but carrying a very flashy Chanel bag. I wanted to believe it was real at first but even Princess ruled that out as a real bag.

Then just last week I saw this girl lining up in front of me at KFC carrying this Chanel bag.

Tim, seriously, I don't understand why some people are willing to pay so much just for the BRAND even though the item is so damn fugly! Class? Status? Who died and choose these brands as the ruler to measure status anyway? Why lah you want to carry and promote other people's name and pay for it, right?

At least that bimbo Paris Hilton got class, carrying a handbag with HER own name on it. Hahaha...!

It doesn't matter whether a girl buys a real or fake chanel! If you see a girl shopping in Topshop and another girl shopping in Cheetah store, both carrying the same chanel.. which girl is carrying a REAL chanel bag??

Not all branded handbags are that expensive. Coach bags are darn cheap in the states. The current trend now is the LV Never Full bag. Its the most affordable (Cheapest) range. Because its cheap errrm... affordable thus you see ppl carrying it everywhere. But i do not discount that there're fake bags.As for the bag here....Im not sure if its real but i've not seen the colour tho. grin ^_^

I think it depends on the user. If Daniel Craig wears a fake Rolex people would still think that it is real right?? Haha

Based on the picture given,I would have to say that it is...fake cuz she looks like a person who puts great emphasis on fashion. In order to be practical, fake things are cheap and thus, allows the user to change often. Aha!! That's it..

LV, Coach, Juicy couture, Gucci and etc are pretty expensive in Malaysia but in US they are affordable! I look through the prices in Malaysia for Juicy couture and apparently they sell a few times more expensive than in US. In US, if you shop all the time like me especially at website or outlet mall, these handbag can be pretty cheap. HAHA. For example, one of my friend actually thought that Forever21 is pretty branded in Malaysia but actually in US they can be categorized as in the lower level brand. Ok la pretty vague example because U man maybe dont even know forever21. Ok, McDonald, I am pretty sure everyone know what is McDonald right? MD is categorize in the pretty expensive food in Malaysia because the cost of a MD meal is equal a few time of char kuey teow. But in US, only people that really poor eat MD because they are darn cheap! USD 3 can get 3 hamburgers! Die or not. HAHA... Ok la pretty lame! I eat those when I first came because I am poor. Aiks!I would said not all branded thing is ugly ok but some really are! Somehow, I like designer brand better because you wont usually bump to people having the same handbags! N if you are in California, somehow I dont know why, you can see LV, coach, Gucci and chanel everywhere. Pretty shocking hor.-______________________-!!!

Anyways, I am pretty sure she is carrying the fake one! Dont tell me it is real because I will have to hide myself by then. *run*

P/S: And also, please dont convert the exchange rate la because Malaysia and US is totally different in earning power thingy.

Not many people can really afford a Chanel. It is different from other brands. Sure, LV or Gucci might seem luxurious but then if you actually compare the price right, Chanel is consider top range. Chanel got no sales one, Now recession also, where got sales.

But the bag looks fake for me la, Usually they have the Double C sign at the side. LIke overlapping and the calf leather looks a bit broken at the edge. Quite impossible for a Chanel bag. My friend had hers from her mother. Its still intact. You pay something that expensive to pass it down like a heirloom or something.

could be real:because she paid so much for the bag that she has no money to dine in better restaurant other than KFC :P

could be fake:i've never see a chanel bag with that color and it looks pretty fake to me. besides, this replica can be obtained anywhere. also, the corner of the bag looked like it's squished, material doesnt look classy enough, real one should have better quality than this.just my 2 cents :)
